That song may not be to everyone’s taste, but it struck a cord – and chord – with me. I have been fighting lies all my life, and I will be in this war until my dying breath. Since you are reading this, you’re right there on the front lines, too.

The other band that I like is ApologetiX. They are a lot of fun, and are one way to switch out those awful lyrics that keep rolling through your head, with ones that glorify God. You can find them here:

I have featured an interview with Patrick Wood before, and what you will learn is nothing short of astounding. He really hits the nail on the head, and provides a vital piece of the puzzle that you and I need – if we wish to understand what is happening.

He doesn’t provide everything, but what he provides is incredibly important.

Consider what has transpired during the lifespan of today’s “baby-boomer.” We have witnessed what some are calling the fall of America. Calling it a fall, however, would be dishonest and incorrect, for a fall implies the consequence of something accidental, or perhaps even unavoidable. None of what we are seeing has been accidental at all, but arguably avoidable. For it was not a fall at all, but a push. It is, or should be as clear as the difference between a homicide and an accidental death. It must be understood that our nation is the victim of the former, and the perpetrators remain at large and in charge.

It takes a LOT of courage and faith in God to do what they did, and I applaud them for doing that.

What did they do?

They canceled their advertiser, Blue Apron, because of their activities that led to the legalization of gay marriage. I am sure that this has caused them to suffer a massive hit to their finances, so I hope that you can support them in whatever way that you can.

Okay, all of that is a lot to listen to, and I encourage you to listen to all of it. While you do that, let’s turn ourselves to other links of interest.

Evil

As I go through the week, reading links from The Drudge Report, SteveQuayle.com and ZeroHedge.com – among others – I keep stumbling across stuff that’s just pure evil. In fact, I have a category that I call EVIL, and here is what’s in that category for this week:

Now, be careful. All of the above is almost guaranteed to raise your blood pressure. And, a couple of them will make you want to get out of the United States – NOW. In fact, when the financial collapse finally hits us, you will wish that you had.

You will need to think a bit to see why some of those articles are so important. Copper, Iron Ore and Caterpillar Tractor sales are a sign of the future for our economy. And frankly, the bad news is so bad… that …I hardly know what to say.

You Must Prepare

We are in for the roughest ride that humanity has ever seen – at least, since the Flood. So please, read my chapter on preparation, here:

Only after you have invested in God, should you look for a location to ride out the storm that’s coming. Once you have a good location, make sure that you have enough food and water. Only AFTER you have done all that – invest in Gold and Silver.

Gold And Silver

Please understand that Gold and Silver should be LAST on your list. And yes, preparing for your friends and family come before Gold and Silver. But, if you have truly done everything, then what is left should go to some kind of precious metal – or, at least something that you can trade/resell for something else of value, when everything falls apart.

(By the way, I am no longer a financial adviser
or an investment manager.
What I have said here is only my own viewpoint,
and what I have considered for my own family.)

So, let’s assume that you’ve done everything else that you can think of, and now are ready for that last step – Gold and/or Silver.

Gold and Silver have been hit hard. And, I expect it to continue to be hit by the powers that be. Eventually, those who are manipulating the market will be forced to stop. That time is coming.

In the meantime, just look at all this price suppression as a sale on gold. If I had the money, I’d be buying.

Just remember that this isn’t about investing. It’s about survival. And, my hope is that all of you will make it through the dark days ahead, so that you can continue to serve the Lord in the best way that you can.

And, if you haven’t been serving the Lord with all of your might and ability, then now is the time to start.

I don’t understand!!!!! America is filled with so many generous and God loving people. Yes, we are all wounded and need to fast and repent. Getting honest with our own shortcomings is very difficult for most people. In our town, there are truly about as good as you can get kind of folks.

I find that I don’t want to watch the wretched news anymore. I know about lies too. I grew up in them and by God’s grace (fasting and prayer) my parent has finally acknowledged many things. Things often are not as they appear. Just look at Bill Cosby. Talk about a sign.

Your right America’s foundation is built on Freemasonary. It has to come down. I don’t believe that it’s over. I believe this season is about to end, but that a humbled new nation can begin again. The outpouring of The Holy Spirit will happen. Our nation will call out to God. We will humble ourselves and repent. There are more good than bad, as far as us people go, in America.

I would like to add to the above. I’ve been ‘awake’ for a few years now, and for the last part of that time had pretty much written America off as hopeless and past the point of no return. Which it probably is. But this morning as I was praying, I felt a strong urge to pray a certain way and I would like to invite other readers and commenters to join me in this praying, not just today but often.

I too live in a tiny town in the heart of America where the people would give you the shirt off their backs. They seem a completely different species from the sociopaths who are drawn to power and money as surely as ducks to water. And today I prayed, feeling the Spirit guiding me, Yes Lord; judgement is due, judgement is coming. But please let it fall lightly on these people of good heart and generous soul. Let it fall heavily on those who are the actual cause of this judgement, and even in that, let it force them to confront what they have avoided til this time, namely their sinfulness and Your Holiness. Cover this nation with a spirit of repentance and true remorse for sin, not to avert this justice but to be healed by it instead of further hardened against You. Let the adversity we are about to see produce purification and refinement, let it force people to stop their absorption in nonsense TV and video games and the complacency and trivia of everyday life in a nation that has had it so easy for so long that they have no concept of what true adversity is. Let it force them to think about what is truly important, what is truly right, and to make the right choices. Many lives will be lost. But let them be lost because they would not deny You, or because they would not abandon a helpless person in a disaster, or because they gave their last morsel of food to someone even hungrier. You are Almighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. You can make all things work together for good. Even this. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.

Hello John…..I have been hesitant to purchase gold or silver and am not sure where the best place is to protect what little we have. I’ve been of the opinion that those in power have no intentions of letting the average person posses any real wealth which would allow them to be self sufficient or free.

Passing along the following article for your INFO which expresses much of what I have been thinking. I (72 yrs. old this August) am one of majority who do not have the resources to move, have a small farm and for sure no bunker to hide in for 3 years. Just me, family, and the Lord.

Gold – Confiscation of Middle Class Wealth?

February 21, 2013
gold6.jpg

DO YOU THINK THE NEW WORLD ORDER WILL ALLOW YOU
TO KEEP THAT MUCH MKONEY OUTSIDE THEIR SYSTEM? OF COURSE NOT.

(the second above article is important because everyday the still young shale extraction and fracking industries are adding more and
more oil, natural gas, and cheap sources of conventional energy to our economy on a truly amazing scale.)

Please note Martin Armstrong’s comment within the past week that gold has NEVER been used as an everyday currency in the history of the world; nations used it as exchange, but as he puts it THE DENOMINATION IS TOO HIGH FOR COMMON USAGE. In a crash, if I wanted to buy a dozen eggs from a neighbor who raises chickens, what use would even pure silver be? How would she make change? Possibly a good investment would be an extremely sensitive, NON-electric scale for weighing out bits of metals. People will be cutting off pieces of it left and right to make change, those that have any at all. I expect to be paying in cabbages.

Hi, John. Gold and silver. Nations have it. The wealthy, doubtless. The financially successful, too. The middle class…. maybe, if a few have been incredibly far-sighted; but certainly not in vast quantities to enable one to withstand the entirety of the storm. The poor; laughable to consider.

Gold and silver as instruments of trade only works in a somewhat constrained and civilized society. Everyone “agrees” that precious metals will be a suitable medium for exchange. But one who holds gold and silver serves as an impetus for destruction and murder to those without. Why should one who holds gold and silver be allowed to keep it?

I remember what the LORD told Jeremiah when the Israelites planned to flee to Egypt to escape Nebuchadnezzar. Their strategy would not succeed (see Jeremiah, chapters 42-44 to get the full story).

I remember what the LORD had to say about gold and silver on the day of His judgment. Gold and silver would not save anyone (Zephaniah 1:18; Ezekiel 7:19; Nahum 2:8-13 ).

I remember what our Messiah said about laying aside earthly treasure. He warned of theft and destruction (Matthew 6:19-21). He recommended a more secure location for a different kind of wealth.

I’ve worried myself sick over the issue of preparations. One must be prudent and fulfill one’s obligations, of course.

But every day I wonder, “Will today be the day the LORD acts in fierce anger against my people?” Every night that passes, I shudder for the coming dawn.

JADE HELM 15. Global financial collapse. The promise of heretofore unexperienced tyranny. Persecution. Separation. Natural disasters of unimagined proportions. How on earth can any one man, woman, family, community – prepare for such a crescendo of concomitant and complementary change? We certainly CANNOT.

I know you know. TRUST IN THE LORD. Be OBEDIENT (a foreign concept to most of our time). Immerse one’s self in His Word and His promises. Love one another as He loved us.

I fully understand why He told us men’s hearts would fail them for fear of what was coming upon the earth (Luke 21:26).

I really and truly hope we ARE ready for what is coming; ready spiritually.

A remnant is. MOST are not.

Behold, refining comes.
LORD, Have Mercy on us in the midst of Your righteous wrath.

Any specifics from the alternative media whose spewing lies? Can you name some? I dont want to end up drinking the kool aid.
Thanks for your work, you always keep me back on my feet when at times this long grind would make me slumber. Thanks bro. I always look forward to the next article.

Time and again the Lord has shown Himself able to deliver His people. Not always without hardship.
If we look at what the Lord gave as preparation for the last plague to come against Egypt we see the Blood of the Lamb around the opening to the house.
This world and all that is of it is passing away.
May it please the Lord to show us like He did Peter how we as His own have gone awry from His will.

I still can’t believe that the US is going to be suddenly destroyed. Like the other poster said, lots of people doing good. Lots of them. And in Sodom and Gomorrah, NOT ONE righteous person could be found. I don’t think we’re there.

But with the sodomite wedding ruling, and now the planned parenthood videos being slowly released, with even worse videos to come… I don’t know. Maybe God no longer cares that there are some righteous people left, and is going to do it anyway.

But in two months, I’ll be ready. All preps will be in place, out in the country. I’m better there are a few others out there like me. We’ll see.

I’m glad that you are so close to completion. It sounds like you will make it across the ‘finish line’.

Remember that ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ isn’t the only example that we have. We have the sin of Judah, where God told Judah to go into captivity because of their sin, and the sin of those who came before. And, there were many righteous who agreed to go into captivity. Those who disobeyed God and stayed behind… well …they had a rough time of it.

My hope is that America will only be severely damaged, and not completely destroyed. But, as someone once said, ‘hope is not a strategy’.

The first time that the Babylonians came, Judah DID obey God, and they did surrender. Then, after Judah rebelled, the Babylonians came again. The above link is when Jeremiah calls Judah to surrender a second time.

Hi John, I wanted to let you you know that a small group of Bible study friends and I here in good ol’ Montana love ya man. I am always surprised, but should not be, when truth straight from the bible is refuted as is from people in the reply section of your articles and all over the internet. How can anyone argue with the PERFECTLY PRESERVED LIVING WORD OF THE ONE TRUE GOD. I know the the last sentence is rhetorical, but the whole thing blows my mind. I know the work of God is being done through you and your effort, but I just wanted to say keep on fighting the good fight, because your efforts are not in vain. You have honestly aided my Bible study, which is of course one of the most important things a follower of Christ does. I feel your pain in dealing constantly with the Anti-Semitic and deceived by the enemy types. It is a situation I go through everyday. Thanks again. Praise Jesus and Amen.

Hi John, It’s commendable how you spend your time answering questions and debating. The Key of Knowledge will guide your efforts and enable you to be more effective in multiplying knowledge and testing spirits. The Scribes and Lawyers in the days of Yeshua Messiah studied the Law and the Prophets through years of experience, and the Holy Spirit inspired certain holy people even in those days. They could have taken hold of the spiritual gift and opportunity but the most learned people took away the Key. They did not enter God’s Kingdom (but could have) and at this stage neither will we. I am far from knowing everything, but I do know for sure what can be known and how we can multiply knowledge. But knowledge is not enough – this is a spiritual battle, more than a battle of wits and until we see that, we will not realize what things we thought were right but in fact are not so, until we discover the extent of what is already revealed in Messiah’s congregation so that we too can better understand, and until we appreciate what ought to be known if we want to enter God’s Kingdom, we will be limited by our imaginations and remain wise in our own eyes. That’s the way it is with nearly all the “leading lights of the world.” The hardest part is to become as children in order to enter God’s Kingdom. Maybe it’s too hard! Shalom michael

a side note on songs, I teared up a bit with a song from Matisyahu : Lord Raise me Up, take a listen to him with some of the songs he sings I hope he is a Messianic Jew. a lot of his songs are powerful songs sung for the Lord ! .

another issue I am concerned about because I am witnessing to more and more of my muslim family members is the hatred that is being stirred in their hearts due to my attack against that evil book the quran .

In an effort to get my muslim family members to test their faith, I fear I am driving them away and they will soon react against me in hostility.

I understand why , I have a habit of pointing out all the evil in the quran and I am able to give them verses that shows exactly how evil the book is, usually when non muslims try to point these things out to muslims, the muslim is able to just state that its a bad translation. But when I point it out from the Arabic text, they have no chance against me in my assertions , because being an ex-muslim I know much of the arguments they use to deceive the majority of good willed honest americans. Deception is apart of Islam and is how this evil religion was able to get a foot hold in America. Obama is proof of that.

the shocking thing is that I have a pretty good guess at how I will die. Due to my stance with JESUS and my words that go against Islam I see myself being killed by the hands of my family members.

I have been hearing more and more anticipation from muslims that the arrival of the Mahdi is soon to be shown. Imagine this, when the Mahdi comes on the scene, you will see radical muslims in the world go from 10% currently to 90% when the Mahdi gives the call for Jihad ! almost overnight you will see attacks being made all over the world done by men and women inspired by the Mahdi.

alas, at least I know who will be killing me, I just hope it isn’t some of the cousins I grew up with.

God bless you all in JESUS name,

Stay strong in the Lord always .

remember if Sin comes to get you to fall from your walk with Jesus, ask yourself this question, will you serve the LORD ! or will you Serve Mammon !

I can’t tell from reading this if you are mentally ill or just delusional. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad. America is not about to collapse. When the year ends and everything is just as it has always been, will you come back to reality? Nah, you’ll probably say that the prayers of the righteous delayed this collapse… Until next year. And the cycle will repeat itself…

Hi John, Many Christians disparage knowledge and confuse “Gnosticism” which is a pretence of having special secret knowledge, versus the Mysteries of the Kingdom, which are revealed to those with uncommon spiritual perception. The “key of knowledge” is no secret or pretence. We see the Apostles applying this learning and decision making process in Acts 1:21-26 and again in Acts 15:6-21 and this process is to be shared with any who want their spiritual eyes opened wider. The English translations for “they drew lots” in Acts 1:21-26 seems sensible but is wrong and misleading. None of the translation committees know about this unique learning and decision making process, grounded in all the scriptures and guided by the Holy Spirit. If they did they would not have made so many mistranslations. Some think the “key of knowledge” is taking us back to eat fruit from the “tree of knowledge.” But eating fruit from the “tree of knowledge” is the universal deception we are victims of when thinking that our personal experience is what best decides right from wrong. That is self-deception and self-righteousness. The “key of knowledge” leads us away from the “tree of knowledge” to the authority of God’s word and allows other people to be part of interpreting God’s word for our personal correction and long term benefit. Adam and Eve were not prevented from going back to the “tree of knowledge,” rather, the flaming sword was to guard the way to the tree of life. After eating the fruit, Adam and Eve have to die (by the flaming sword) in order to find true righteousness. Only those who achieve true righteousness by putting their sinful nature to death will not die by the sword. Shalom michael

Your comment troubles me greatly. You may not be a ‘full-blown’ Gnostic right now, but you are very, very close – if not there, already.

There is only one ‘Key of Knowledge’ the Holy Spirit directing our interpretation of the Bible. The Holy Spirit does many other things, but THAT is the Key of Knowledge.

To say otherwise is heresy.

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

– 1 John 2:27

Our anointing is the Holy Spirit.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

as your message reaches more and more people, the devil and his agents will work against you .

Do not ever Lose heart ! it will be trying at times, but you are a watchman that is needed, and always remember that JESUS will speak thru you when you devote yourself to him.

Just stay strong in the LORD, because the enemy comes to steal, destroy , and kill, Just yesterday I was told by my apartment manger that I need to take down my Sign of JESUS which I have on my balcony.

not sure yet if I want to fight it, but I will be praying on this matter.

Those who stand for Christ will be attacked more and more, and its just another signs of the times.

Everyone – always and everywhere – has full permission to quote my writing, whether in part or in full. I only require a link back to the original article. I do ask for some kind of attribution to me (or the website) as the author – if the quote is a substantial portion of the article.

I do retain the right to deny the above – in the case of those who use my writing for evil purposes.

The Hagmanns are good and honest brothers in Christ, so I welcome them to re-post as much of my work as they want – in full (or in part). May God bless them in all that they do.

Any criticism that they may make of my writing is completely acceptable. Otherwise, iron could not sharpen iron! (Proverbs 27:17)

God bless you, JD. I deeply appreciate the fact that you took the time to reach out to me, and I rejoice in being able to participate in what Doug and Joe are doing.

Hi John, You seem to feel that you have the Holy Spirit but I don’t; or that you have superior insights that I lack, You judge me; I don’t judge but leave that to YHWH [God] and I invite you to test yourself, to judge yourself, your insights, your wisdom, not by your standards but by the Key of Knowledge. I confess that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah, having come in the flesh, – 1 John 4:2. So by which spirit do I confess Yeshua? And if I have the same Spirit in me as in you, then am I not teachable by that same Spirit? Shalom michael

Mike, I was saved out of the occult and while I was deluded by it, I sincerely thought I was a Christian. I see this same spirit ALL OVER you. Satan can appear as an angel of light when it suits his purpose, and his purpose is deception.

If you love truth as much as you claim to – pray that God deliver you from any deception you might be under. Be willing to give up anything He prompts you to. The truth is what it is, and if you believe God is truth, there should be no problem in sincerely and persistently praying that prayer. The world is so full of deception that I pray this all the time.

Shalom, In Acts 1:15-26 and 15:1-22 we glimpse a little insight into how the Holy Spirit operates to guide and enlighten the followers of Yeshua Messiah, through the counsel of wise elders who study and trust all the scriptures, not just those parts they like. Anyone who wants to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth will need to follow the example of the church in Jerusalem – that’s the Key of Knowledge. Not for receiving eternal life, which is by faith; but for entering into God’s Kingdom.

Luke 21:36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
